This article states that, "transgender and gender non-conforming people frequently experience discrimination when accessing health care, from disrespect and harassment to violence and outright denial of service," which has caused this report to be written. The main issues are that transgender and gender non-conforming people are discriminated against when it comes to finding housing, health and partnership benefits, or jobs. Policy makers and the media dismiss these people and don't focus or care about them. As a result, the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force formed a ground-breaking research partnership to address this problem.
This report consists of barriers faced by transgender and gender non-conforming people. Specifically with access to healthcare. It also includes statistics about HIV/AIDS, drug abuse, and suicidal tendencies. They also provide information regarding transition-related care with respect to counseling, hormones, and surgery.
This report does not address matters of disaster, but does dive into health issues faced by those discriminated against for being transgender and gender non-conforming.
This report addresses the issues of bias and discrimination, which is important for technical professionals to know so that they can avoid making these errors in judgement and provide proper standard of care to everyone. This is important because 19% of the respondents were refused treatment at one point, which is absolutely terrible.
